I think you need to read the play. An allusion is like a simile, but not quite a metaphor. That is, you substitute one thing for another, and it's clear that's what you are doing, but you don't say "X is like Y," you say "X is Y." "It is the east, and Juliet is the sun," for example.

A soliloquy is any time one character is alone (not counting dead bodies or unconscious ones) on the stage and is speaking, as if to himself or herself. I think both Romeo and Juliet have soliloquies in the tomb at the end of the play. Juliet does a lovely one speaking to the dagger just before she commits suicide.
